Exciting future
We are currently investing in equipment that will provide networked production automation, by eliminating as many manual steps as possible we will reduce waste, and speed up production.
Despite being relatively new, JDF (Job Definition Format) offers print plants the ability to have an electronic job ticket that contains all the settings and information for each job, then each component/device in the factory has the ability to comunicate with one another by a system called JMF (job messaging format). We are implementing such a system. In the future we will automatically update customers on the progress of their job and almost fully automatic production of certain types of work is possible now.
